Issue building FrankenPHP with PHP 8.2 (errors: watcher-c.h not found and http.encoders.br not registered)

Hi everyone 👋,

I’m trying to build FrankenPHP with PHP 8.2, but I ran into some issues during the build and when running the binary.

Here’s what I did:

CGO_ENABLED=1 \ XCADDY_GO_BUILD_FLAGS="-ldflags='-w -s' -tags=php8.2,nobadger,nomysql,nopgx" \ CGO_CFLAGS="$(php-config --includes)" \ CGO_LDFLAGS="$(php-config --ldflags) $(php-config --libs)" \ xcaddy build \ --output frankenphp82 \ --with github.com/dunglas/frankenphp/caddy \ --with github.com/dunglas/mercure/caddy \ --with github.com/dunglas/vulcain/caddy

Result :

so, i added brew --prefix,
CGO_ENABLED=1 \ XCADDY_GO_BUILD_FLAGS="-ldflags='-w -s' -tags=php8.2,nowatcher,nobadger,nomysql,nopgx" \ CGO_CFLAGS="$(php-config --includes) -I$(brew --prefix)/include" \ CGO_LDFLAGS="$(php-config --ldflags) $(php-config --libs) -L$(brew --prefix)/lib" \ xcaddy build \ --output frankenphp82 \ --with github.com/dunglas/frankenphp/caddy \ --with github.com/dunglas/mercure/caddy \ --with github.com/dunglas/vulcain/caddy

The build succeeded,
Then I try to run the binary, but I got these problems:

Error: module not registered: http.encoders.br

Has anyone else experienced these issues when building FrankenPHP with PHP 8.2?
Is there something I need to enable/disable in the build flags?

Thanks for any help 🙏

You need to build with these build flags to disable brotli/watcher (or install the dependencies): https://frankenphp.dev/docs/compile/#install-optional-dependencies

Fair warning: I’m not sure all the work on timeouts was ever released on 8.2, so timeouts may not function or may function incorrectly.

i have installed brotli and watcher but i stiil got this error

Just looking at the error message, it seems like you haven’t installed the watcher into the wtr directory.

I want to change the PHP version in FrankenPHP and build a static binary. Is this correct?
